Σουρεαλισμός στα Εξώφυλλα Δίσκων

Μέχρι την εποχή του CD το εξώφυλλο ενός δίσκου ήταν από τα βασικότερα συστατικά της επιτυχίας του, και οι καλλιτέχνες που αναλάμβαναν να φέρουν εις πέρας το artwork ενός άλμπουμ δούλευαν πάνω σ' αυτό ακόμα και μήνες ολόκληρους. Σε αυτό εδώ το ποστ  μερικά γνωστά -ή όχι και τόσο –άλμπουμ τα εξώφυλλα των οποίων φιλοτεχνήθηκαν από πραγματικά διάσημους καλλιτέχνες. Ας δούμε μερικά απ' αυτά..
